Surrealism, Unpredictable Bodies:

Purely human bodies and transhuman elements combine to create a futuristic human figure.

As an extension of the second episode of Jumok Dance Theater's Transhumanism Trilogy series, <Bayan - The Human Borg> is a prequel to the upcoming third episode. Through <Bayan - The Human Borg>, the artist aims to convey themes that criticize human mechanization, control, or excessive dependence on technology.

The inhumanly transformed body is an extended body as transhumanism, and in the vicious cycle of reality and fiction, it has two sides from the utopian perspective of technology and science: a weak and frail human with limitations, or a human with infinite flesh. The implementation creates unique visuals using CG or virtual studio shooting or AI input values.
